Carl Pretty awesome diorama - the effects are brilliantly done. Just didn't see the point of doing such a detailed build and then most of it is completely hidden in the explosion - modeling just the front third would have done the trick.

Chris Take it from a guy who knows so pitiful little about figures. getting them into realistic stances and blending in, not to mention painting them as well, is no easy feat. It's certainly another difficult variable to deal with. At the point, maybe the best way to proceed, is just skip the figures and move on. Might just get the juices flowing again and lesson all the aggravation.

Martin Looking good and yes, over spray is overrated.

Ernie How true as the skies have never been safer but the smells, sounds and romance are gone.

Ernie No problems at all. Just enjoying following your build and progress.

Rob Your progress is amazing and the hours of working with all the PE, has brough your Arizona already up to a new level. Simply fantastic work.

Gus Looking mighty good and as with Carl, all my references show the demarcation line as feathered.

Carl Always a Band of Brothers.

Ernie Today it's an electronic world, MFD and computers, nothing like the old days when we all first learned to fly using our eyes and a compass. I'm sure as the world turns and time goes by, the skills of the pilot will change as well. I've read that airlines are now looking at single man crews, with the aircraft doing almost everything and someday, no pilot on board at all. As sad as it sounds, the romance will be gone and technology will have passed us by.

Martin, great price. Mine cost $75.

Carl Sounds so very serious to me and nothing to take lightly. Other then living with the injuries, is there anything you can do to keep the symptoms from getting worse?

Carl Perfect and what a great strategy. For now, I have my Border Lancaster box residing in a spot in our kitchen as it's so big I need to still find a place for it until she hits the bench. I can only imagine how big the Valkyrie actually is.

Jeroen Very nice work on the front office

Ernie Cammo work looks awesome and I do like what you have done with the colors; going to be a great base for some well weathered.

John Just posted in the finished forum. Awesome build - so different and so realistic. Great idea and you pulled it off perfectly. 🏆

John What a gorgeous and unique build - different and colorful. The attached photographs show how well you replicated the actual weather-beaten Corsair put out to pasture. Awesome work and just goes to show how taking a different approach to the subject can yield spectacular results. 🏆

Carl That doesn't sound very good. Have you checked out what the shaking is? Coming from an old geezer these days, I try to stay on top of things.

Hi Smitty I kept on looking and the Squadron Shop has them. Order the same version; AH64E. Would be cool to do a helicopter GB. I've been promising Oliver for years I'll build one and this is the kit that pushed me across the line. Just need a Quinta set and I'll be set.

Sasha Awesome work

Carl Some mighty amazing detail PE work and as Rob said, what a transformation from Italeri's plain Jayne plastic- to a ultra detail Vosper.

Sasha. some mighty nice work on the all black paint scheme - nice work on the light weathering.

Kriss Right with Kev, terrific start and going to be an awesome build.

Oliver - that would be perfect now, finding those kits in 32nd scale.

Martin Some mighty nice work and knowing your determination for the details and to 'get it right', no question it's going to be right.

Ernie Now that's flying, shooting non precision approaches the hard way. Nope, never did any dual ADF navigation, as in my neck of the woods, the northeast tri state area, loads of VORs and crowded skies. I've always admired pilots who were old school, could navigate with a sectional, a road map, were masters at pilotage and dead reckoning to get from point A to point B safely. I started flying back in the mid sixties in a J3, needless to say, you learned the ways of the magnetic compass. First dual cross country was from Zahns to Bader Field, Atlantic City was in a J3, the traffic on the Garden State Parkway passed me by. Not long after that, the succession of moving up in aircraft began and most of my hours when I was flying was in my Colt or 172's.
